CONCERNING SHIRT FACTORIES.

The subscribers to the stock of the
proposed st. Johnsbury shirt company
met at the Avenue house Monday
evening to listen to the report of G. S.
Hastings who went to Rutland last
week to examine into the condition of
affairs there. Mr.. Hastings reported
very favOrably for the new enterprise.
He gave schedule of the plans and
stock on hand, number of girls en-
ployed and business done by the COM
pany ; talked with number of promi-
nent Rutlanders who reported standing
and integrity of firm good gave the
reasons assigned for the firms wanting
to leave Rutland, and gave compare
tive figures of the sales during three
years. The plant is put at $4,000, said
to cost over $4,000; the stock of I'M
manufactured goods is valued at $4,000,
which the new company can take or
not as they please ; the stock of manu-
featured goods is put at $4,000 which
the new company can take or not. If
they decide to take the manufactured
goods at discount of Is per cent. from
wholesale prices the Ru tland company
propose to take $4,000 stock in the new
company. This offer is made on con-
dition that the ST. JOhnsbury folks sub
scribe and pay for at least $4,000 of
stock. This company have been en-
plOying at Rutland from 100 to 125
girls and have been unable to fill Or
ders at that. Mr.. Hastings was close
ly questioned and the general conclu-
sion seemed to be that the scheme was
both practical and promising.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to call a meeting of the citi-
zens for Friday evening at town hall
to discuss the question in all its as
poets. Meanwhile E. N. Randall, C. S.
Hastings and VIM. S. Boynton were
chosen committee to solicit subscrip-
tiOns to stock and stir up the people.
The meeting will be open to erybOdy
and everybody is earnestly invited.
The question of location was not dis
cussed in detail but it was decided
that the factory be placed west of the
railroad tracks. The amount that it
is desired to raise is $25, 900 and about
half this sum was subscribed Tuesday.

CANON WILRERFoRcE
Delivers Temperance Address In
New York.

NEW YORK, June ia large audience
gathered in Chickering Hall this afternoon
to hear Canon Wilberforce Of England
speak under the auspices of the National
Temperance Society. Rev. DR.. T. Dewitt
Talmage presided and introduced the speak
er. AT his suggestion the people arose in
their seats and northumberland at the
visitor in Christian salutation." Mr.. Will
berforce spoke energetically and rapidly for
an hour and awoke great enthusiasm.
Among other things he said were: sThe
noblest OF enthusiasms is love of the Lord,
and the basest passion for strong drink
The only thing that Christianity wants inst
now is Christians. There are too many
people with too much religion to enjoy the
world and too many with too much worldli-
ness to enjoy religion. / feel that in speak

troll America as it controls England There
Is an arlstocracy in this country, but il is an
arlstoeracy of intellectual power of char
acter, of beauty and of grace. In Englan nd
we put our big brewers in the House of
Commons instead of putting them in Jail as
they do in Maine. In Maine they lock up
liquor before it gets into man; while in
New York you only lock it up after. There
must be no compromise, no high license, but
absolute and universal prohibition. Talk
about destroying an industry. Why in Scot
land there is an establishment that turns
over every year el,500,000 and employees
100 men. The same capital invested in iron
manufacturing in Sheffield would give work
10 l,5O0 men, and in cotton would employ

hibition would hurt industry lies under the
greatest mistake of his life and don't know
anything.

Jake sharp,s Trial.

New YORK, June 19.-There were COM
paratively few people present when the trial
OF Sharp was resumed yesterday morning.
William Bird, broker, and several others
were called In succession to the stand. They
testified that they had subscribed for stock in
the Broadway surface road, and per-
mtted their names to be used as incorpor-
ators but they had not paid for nor received
any OF the stock OF the railroad.
A few days before the court adjourned
Sheriff Grant stated that as he was responsi-
BILE for the safe keeping of Sharp he had de-
clded TO lock him up over Sunday in the
Ludlow street Jail. Sharp,s counsel strongly
protested against such course but the
court sustained the sheriff and Sharp was
accordingly taken to the Jail, where he
occupied an elegantly furnished suite OF
rooms, the same ones which Tweed and
Ferdinand Ward had Sharp was almost
overwhelmed with emotion at the idea Of
having to spend two nights and the Sabbath
in Jail.
The jury were permitted to drive through
lhe park but were cautioned by the court to
remain together. Judge Barrett said that he
would not consent that the jury should at
tend church tomorrow as some minister
might take it into his head to preach on
the morality of public officials, taking his
theme from the case at the bar.

GAME TO-DAY.

GAME TODAY.
The Portlands will play the Lowells again
this afternoon, and a good game may be
looked for. This is the last game this month,
as the home team play away until July 1st.
PoRTLANDs, 8; LowELLs,4 f.
Portland defeated Lowell on the home
grounds Saturday. before fine and impair
tial audience of about 1900 people, including
many ladies. That each club wanted the
game was evident from the time Andrus
faced Doyle in the first until Cudworth failed
to reach first in the ninth. Both teams gave
nne exhibition. Doyle and Sullivan occu-
pled the points for the visitors, and Quinn
and Duffey did the battery work for Port
land. Doyle worked hard, but was hit free
ly Tor 10 singles, doubles and flies to the
outheld: Quinn's left hand delivery was
very effective in all but the fifth, when he
did excellent work, Duffey especially doing
finely, .McGunnigle and Cudworth acted
like white men, the former doing but little
kicking, and the latte4t's parrot warble was
heard but twice. Phinney umpired good
game and gave fair satisfaction, although
the Lowells got two out Of three close decis-
ions.
The Portlands scored one run In the first.
on Hatteld's single and Thayer's double
and one in the I'd on tumble and two hits
lucy were Dldnkeu IN the next three In
nlngs. In the fifth the Lowells created some
alarm by scoring three runs on wild throw,
a base ON balls, and three hits, taking the
lead But in the sixth, by clean hitting and
line base running Portland oyercame It and
earned three runs on a double and three
singles. They increased their lead one run
in the seventh by base on balls, double
and single. Lowell gained their last point
In the eighth by scoring one run on tumble
steal and hit. Portland made matters safer
in the ninth, by adding two runs on a wild
throw and two singles. The finish was ex-
citing, the visitors filling the bases in the
ninth on two hits, base on balls and a muff
With two men out and the bases full, Cud-
worth came to the bat, but failed to make
the home run necessary to tie the score, send
ing an easy one to Andrus, who threw him
out at first.
The features Of the game were Shinnick's
foul catch, kennedy''s running catch, Dayin's
assist and throw to home plate, holding a
man on third, Duffey's hard attempt for a
foul fly, the general fielding Of both clubs
and the batting of the Portlands, especially
Thayer's. McGunnigle was lamed in the
eighth, and forced to retire, duinasso taking
his place, but having nothing to do. Follow
lag is the score:

DARING ROBBERY
On the Southern Pacific Railroad In
Texas.
Mail Pouches Cut and Every Car
Searched.
About $4,000 Worth OF Booty
Secured by the Thieves.

HOUSTON, Tex, June 1S-A most daring
train robbery was perpetrated at 1.30 o'clock
this morning a short distance from Schulen-
burg, on the Southern Pacific railroad. As
the train drew up to the station, two men
with drawn reyolvers mounted the engine,
covered the engineer with their weapons,
and compelled him to pull the train out to
the open prairie, a few hundred yards to the
east, where fire was burning, around which
stood eight or ten men armed with Winches-
ter rifles. The two robbers on the engine
stood guard over the man at the throttle,
while the others went through the mail, ex-
press and passenger cars. Nearly all the
passengers we're asleep, and did not know
what was going on until they were aroused
BY the robbers. The first man tackled by the
thieves was w. Newburger Of New York,
yer. They secured from him SIS in cash and
several diamonds and gold watch, all valued
at about $1,000 All of the passengers lost
what valuables they had. 1t is difficult to
form an estimate Of the amount of money
and 1ewelry secured. Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
express car was gone through, but the
amount OF money taken from 1t cannot be
ascertained. Nomail route agent was on the
train. but the through mail pouches In the
express car were all cut open and their con-
tents appropriated. The total amount Sc
cured by the robbers is put down at $4,000 or
$4,000. There is no doubt that considerable
booty was secured and the gang made off
with it successfully. The whole country Is
aroused and in arms. Several parties have
gone in search Of the gang.
